Messy
Author: Tim Harford
Publisher: Little Brown GBR
ISBN: 9781408706756
Category : Creative ability
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
The urge to tidiness seems to be rooted deep in the human psyche. Many of us feel threatened by anything that is vague, unplanned, scattered around or hard to describe. We find comfort in having a script to rely on, a system to follow, in being able to categorise and file away. We all benefit from tidy organisation - up to a point. A large library needs a reference system. Global trade needs the shipping container. Scientific collaboration needs measurement units. But the forces of tidiness have marched too far. Corporate middle managers and government bureaucrats have long tended to insist that everything must have a label, a number and a logical place in a logical system. Now that they are armed with computers and serial numbers, there is little to hold this tidy-mindedness in check. It's even spilling into our personal lives, as we corral our children into sanitised play areas or entrust our quest for love to the soulless algorithms of dating websites. Order is imposed when chaos would be more productive. Or if not chaos, then . . . messiness. The trouble with tidiness is that, in excess, it becomes rigid, fragile and sterile. In Messy, Tim Harford reveals how qualities we value more than ever - responsiveness, resilience and creativity - simply cannot be disentangled from the messy soil that produces them. This, then, is a book about the benefits of being messy: messy in our private lives; messy in the office, with piles of paper on the desk and unread spreadsheets; messy in the recording studio, the laboratory or in preparing for an important presentation; and messy in our approach to business, politics and economics, leaving things vague, diverse and uncomfortably made-up-on-the-spot. It's time to rediscover the benefits of a little mess.

Learning in Public
Author: Courtney E. Martin
Publisher: Little, Brown
ISBN: 0316428256
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 397
Book Description
This "provocative and personally searching"memoir follows one mother's story of enrolling her daughter in a local public school (San Francisco Chronicle), and the surprising, necessary lessons she learned with her neighbors. From the time Courtney E. Martin strapped her daughter, Maya, to her chest for long walks, she was curious about Emerson Elementary, a public school down the street from her Oakland home. She learned that White families in their gentrifying neighborhood largely avoided the majority-Black, poorly-rated school. As she began asking why, a journey of a thousand moral miles began. Learning in Public is the story, not just Courtney’s journey, but a whole country’s. Many of us are newly awakened to the continuing racial injustice all around us, but unsure of how to go beyond hashtags and yard signs to be a part of transforming the country. Courtney discovers that her public school, the foundation of our fragile democracy, is a powerful place to dig deeper. Courtney E. Martin examines her own fears, assumptions, and conversations with other moms and dads as they navigate school choice. A vivid portrait of integration’s virtues and complexities, and yes, the palpable joy of trying to live differently in a country re-making itself. Learning in Public might also set your family’s life on a different course forever.

Book Description
“Utterly fascinating. Tim Harford shows that if you want to be creative and resilient, you need a little more disorder in your world.” —Adam Grant, New York Times-bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take “Engrossing.” —New York Times From the award-winning columnist and author of the national bestseller The Undercover Economist comes a provocative big idea book about the genuine benefits of being messy: at home, at work, in the classroom, and beyond. Look out for Tim's next book, The Data Detective. Messy: The Power of Disorder to Transform Our Lives celebrates the benefits that messiness has in our lives: why it’s important, why we resist it, and why we should embrace it instead. Using research from neuroscience, psychology, social science, as well as captivating examples of real people doing extraordinary things, Tim Harford explains that the human qualities we value – creativity, responsiveness, resilience – are integral to the disorder, confusion, and disarray that produce them. From the music studio of Brian Eno to the Lincoln Memorial with Martin Luther King, Jr., from the board room to the classroom, messiness lies at the core of how we innovate, how we achieve, how we reach each other – in short, how we succeed. In Messy, you’ll learn about the unexpected connections between creativity and mess; understand why unexpected changes of plans, unfamiliar people, and unforeseen events can help generate new ideas and opportunities as they make you anxious and angry; and come to appreciate that the human inclination for tidiness – in our personal and professional lives, online, even in children’s play – can mask deep and debilitating fragility that keep us from innovation. Stimulating and readable as it points exciting ways forward, Messy is an insightful exploration of the real advantages of mess in our lives.

Book Description
This is book 3 and the finale of the Satan's Riders MC series! I bought her to break her. She was the prize of the auction. And now she’s bare in my bed. But what starts as another night of sating my hunger… Turns into an adventure that might kill us both. BRANDON Being part of an outlaw motorcycle club comes with its perks. The law of the land is merely a suggestion to be ignored. And out here, beyond its reach, anything goes. Anything at all. That means girls, guns, and drugs flow back and forth from man to man like an endless river. Just reach in and quench your thirst. Again, and again, and again. That’s how Hannah ended up at my mercy. Just another club rat, purchased to satisfy a man’s desires. Any other night, with any other girl, I would have used her until I had my fill, then kick her out the door. But this wasn’t any other night. And Hannah isn’t any other girl. There is something different about this one. And when my enemies try to claw her back from me, she becomes more than just a woman in my possession. She becomes the spark that starts a wildfire. Bring on the war, the carnage. I’ve staked my claim on Hannah. And if they want to lay their hands on her again… They’ll have to go through me. HANNAH I knew from the beginning that I might not survive this ride. But I never had a choice. They called me a club girl, but I know what I really am: A disposable toy. They use me when they want, and hurt me when they don’t. I’m less than human to them. I’m a receptacle, a rag, a piece of trash. And Brandon looks just as vicious as the rest of them. When I’m handed to him, I don’t feel anything. Years of abuse have washed those emotions away. So when the door shuts and we’re finally alone, I do what I’ve been taught: Strip down and get ready to please. The sooner he’s happy, the sooner my suffering will end. But the biker surprised me. He might look like the monsters who’ve spent years hurting me, but underneath, he’s a different man entirely. Somewhere beneath the leather and the tattoos, there’s a heart. And maybe, just maybe, he’ll be the one to save me. That is, if my owners don’t come to steal me back first. *** RIDE WITH THE DEVIL is the motorcycle club romance series you’ve been waiting for. This bad boy romance is about an alpha male biker who rescues an innocent girl. Their romance love story will melt your heart and your panties. If you love MC romance, then look no further.
